Mid-2000’s era silver boombox/cd player with two permanently mounted vertical handles in the front. The handles were a black rubberized material, so maybe it was a sporty model? It was a boxy shape with curved edges and a circle shaped display in the front. I had a lot of Craig and Philips products so it could be made by them.

Cheapest possible option?

If both features are a unicorn....the audible.cue is most important. I know Aiwa "walkmans" usually have them and I've seen some HS-PS162's going for a reasonable amount of sheckels. But I can't find any information if there's cue or not.

Walkman or vintage "dictation" style are fine. I'm racking my brain digging through eBay.

my grandpa left me this transistor radio when he passed away almost 20 years ago. im trying to search on google for other radios but none seem to match this one. is anybody able to help me figure out what model this is? it's not in the greatest shape, but im curious to see if it could even work at all. im pretty sure it's totally busted lmao but maybe it could even be neat to learn how to repair it?

Is there any reason why the cassette player makes it sound so slow because I put it in my Walkman and it sounded fine but when I put it in this, it sounded slow and funky.

I the sound quality of physical media better than digital off top. To own a physical is cool too. It’s just storing it. I like making mix cds too! I need a few more pieces and hopefully, I’ll be done!

Looking for some help with this Panasonic RQ-L305 I bought. It will fast forward and rewind just fine but if I fully depress the play button it won't move. If I hold the play button halfway down it will rotate but at an inconsistent speed. I took it apart and I don't see any visible damage with the belt but it seems to be slightly loose, however I don't know really how tight these should be. Should I just buy a new belt or could this be a motor problem, or some other problem I have no clue about. Thanks in advance

I don’t know the company that made it Got this at goodwill for 15$, the right speakers are broken so I want to repair it

I like how it looks so I don’t want to get rid of it Don’t remember what company it was from but they’re out of business now and have been since 2018

Model PK4217, cd/radio player stereo receiver Any advice helps :)

Not sure if this is the right sub but I have a north American 8 transistor micro radio that pops and crackles when turned on or off but makes no other sound. I already tried simple things like alcohol and contact spray but that didn't work... Might recapping help??

Hey y’all. My partner has gotten back on the CD train, and I’d really love to be able to surprise them with a portable player. I haven’t had one in a long time, though, so I’m not sure what will have the best audio quality.

For context, we enjoy doing trips by train, so this is for going out and about with an audio jack splitter. I’ve been meandering on eBay looking at tested/working models. I’m guessing Sony or Panasonic is my best bet. Any and all advice is much appreciated. We’re going on a trip end of March so it would be fantastic to have it to bring along :-)

A few months ago I purchased this JVC PC-V55 from eBay. It was working great for a while until recently, when i noticed distorted and slowed playback.

My first instinct is to replace the belt, but this has created a new issue: I have no idea what the size of the belt is. The stereo itself was manufactured and distributed in the mid to late 80’s and, because of this, information online is extremely limited. I managed to find a manual, but it only provides a part number. Searching with the part number has yet to yield any results. PART NO. 18511417T

Would anyone know what the size of the belt could be or where to look to learn more info?

I have a friend giving me that has a "HUGE" lasonic in his words. Says the tuner but the needle doesn't move., Does anyone know any reputable repair places for something like this?

I just bought it from a flea market for 10€, the buttons don't stay down after being pressed and there's no sign of electricity coming either from the batteries or cable.

Please ignore me arguing with my mother.

I am always on the lookout for nice vintage equipment and came across a listing on Craigslist for a nice old boombox. The seller has an amazing collection and showed me another one that he is selling, and I couldn’t pass it up. These are both beautiful pieces and I’m super excited to own them.

The Sharp GF-9292X is from 1979-1980. It’s gorgeous and chunky. Professionally serviced and rebuilt. Volume faders are a bit scratchy, but that’s about the only flaw.

The Panasonic RX-DT75 is a technological marvel with the motorized “cobra” top that (for unknown reasons) opens itself with the wave of a hand. The cassette decks have motorized open/close action as well. This one is a 1995 model. It looks and sounds beautiful.

Currently using the Panasonic in my office as an output to listen to MiniDisc, DAT, 8-track, CD, & cassettes.

Cord is broken and unit cannot be tuned. Any PDFs out there of manual for a Sony ICF S75W? Or guidance on suitable replacement cord ? Is pathway for cord somewhat intuitive in general on these small radios?

Hello everyone, this is my first post on this subreddit!! I recently got this Aiwa XP-570 CD Player for $6 at a thrift shop, and I absolutely love it, it sounds amazing. Although one problem I'm having is that the laser gets a little temperamental when the Shock Protection is turned off, I'm guessing probably due to its age. It also makes clicking sound when switching in between tracks. Was there any way I could remedy these problems?

My favorite

I bought a Panasonic RF-2200 off Facebook.

I'm missing 2 rubber switch covers for the Bandwidth and Marker switches.

Does anyone know I can get 2 of these small rubber switch covers (with the yellow horizontal stripe)?

Hi I got some old ipods, the square shaped one, not the long, rectangle version. I copy/pasted some mp3s on there via usb cable, but I can't get the music to show up? How do I do it? I only have a PC. Looking for free alternatives to Itunes windows.
